I know, I know... Oil...

But we have enough NG to be energy sufficient for a while. I don't know why we inflict these problems on ourselves. It's like we want to be imperialistic just to spite the odds. =\
Hint: it has to do with a bunch of rich old white dudes wanting to stay rich old white dudes

Theyve also rigged the economy so the only way we can stay afloat is to stay engaged in war

Wouldnt surprise me if the whole ending war in iraq thing is just part of a plan to start allocating resources towards a campaign in iran. should be interesting to see if they try to pull the wool over our eyes again and how people will react.

Iran has been within 5 years of having a nuke since the 80's. Although I think they will now try to develop one because we have left them no choice.

Last time I checked, we weren't some independent entity. We take our orders from politicians who were elected by the people.

You only want 'just' wars? Then quit electing shitty politicians.

Unless you're arguing that we shouldn't have a military at all... In that case

Piss off dude.

One less war is one less war.....

I'm not pretending like it's the last war.

Just being thankful for the end-ish of this one and sharing how I feel about it.

Think about what you're saying and tell me why it's not a contradiction.

IDK what rank JP has/had but blaming anything to do with war (apart from atrocity and shit) on anyone ranked less than general is pretty dumb.

Isn't like half of the US army from Detroit?

Oh yeah those warmongering Detroit sob's .

Politicians are responsible for starting wars, not soldiers.

Fuck the army.

did the 'politicians' tell them to torture Iraqis, or to massacre civilians at Mei Lai and Haditha?

JP and his ilk are fucking scumbags, end of story.

CIA, not soldiers.

It all goes back to the Commander in Chief.

But aren't you still a hypocrite if you take part in something you think is bullshit regardless who is responsible for starting said bullshit?

No. Those people broke so many laws... And it wasn't due to lack of training that we couldn't do shit like that.

They're being held accountable for their actions as well.

imo if you join the current military then human life has little meaning to you... which is sad as fuck.
and you are kinda a dumb douchebag to scared to face life cause he cant figure out a plan for his life by the time he is 18.

it's not like it is your fault or anything, totally all societies fault and the greed that runs it.


doesnt mean you still arent a lil bitch tho
